IN Friday evening the house was crow

Elizabeth.
Mrs. Bowers presents the weak side Of
ugood Queen Bess, with telling effect,
and her conflict with her love for Eng
land and her love for the Earl of Essex.
displayed her magnificent power as a
tragic queen,
Her costumes are very handsome, and
her stage presence exceedingly fine.
Toward the end of the play, just be
fore the execution of Essex, she wears
black velvet aud ermine costume, that is
very striking and elegant, and her other
costumes and Jewels are regal.
Mr.. Joseph Wheelock, as the Earl of
Essex, played the part to perfection. and
his defiance of Elizabeth, after her con-
demnation ofhim reused the audience
to thehighest pitch of enthusiasm.
This afternoon, Lady Audleys Sc
creto will be played, and tonight the
rendition of Mary Stuart, will doubtless
attract large audience.

"Arkansaw tooth picks indeed"
"AWay down in Arkansaw' Forsooth! y
The LADIES JOURNAL will venture to af-
firm that there is more progress in Ar
kansas to-day, as regards aiding wo-
man in an honorable position, than in
many another states that rudely curls a
fgurative lip when the State OF Arkan-
sas'is mentioned. Has not our Legis-
lature lately appointed In the Senate an
Engrossing Clerk, lady, an Enrolling
clerk lady. In the House, ladies to
both clerkships, Engrossing and Enroll
ing, also the Secretaries of Committees,
are young and honorable ladies, Miss
Morgan and Miss Lewis. This means
that Arkansaw believes that capable wo-
man can as surely be trusted to perform
skillfuI and thoughtful service as regards
state papers as any of our statesman.
1t means also that they believe that
the world is awakening to the fact, that
the mechanical grind Of the sewing ma
chine, and the pittance earned thereby,
is apctty small.Starvation for the capa-
Bile, hun an mind, And that capable cit
izen. woman or man, is Of value, and
should not be placed at a disadvantage
in the worlds ways of bread winning.
So has Arkansas gone with the worlds
enlightened progress, and while many
other States still hold the prejudiced
opinion that woman must be seen and
not heard, though she silently starves.
Arkansas has made her record OF help
fitness for those who would help Them
selves.

TO LOWER CEDAR POINT.

The spacious and commodious
steamer, John W. Thompson, was
filled to it's utmost capacity, the
occasion being an excursion to
Cedar Point, given by the Palm
Leaf Organ club of Ebenezer M.
E. church, Monday June 9th. Al
though the inclement weather
prevented many FROM going, the
affair was a grand success. The
steamer proceeded down the Poto-
mac as far as Lower Cedar point,
turning came 80 miles toward
Washington and landed at Smiths
Point for two hours.
Here the excursionists enjoyed
themselves in fishing, gathering
wild flowers and many other things
which made the trip pleasant to
all. The "Bee" scribe being on
hand to note the occasion, seen an
amusing incident. While crossing
the bridge with one Of natures
charms by his side, he noticed Mr..
G.--fshing with small net.
He asked the gentleman what he
was fishing for, he said, he was
trying to catch crabs. Those who
stood around laughed heartily
when the scribe informed him that
this was fresh water and he would
have a happy time catching crabs
here. After delightful time on
land, all went aboard and the
steamer started for home, reach
ing Washington about 10 O'Clock.
The managers of this excursion
deserve special mention, for giving
the public such a rare treat. The
excellent music by Prof. McKin-
nie's Brass and String band was
grand. Among those Oh board were
some of our most distinguished
young ladies, but owning to the
want of space will not be mention

of the appreciation of the citizens

their pluck in entering the Nation

and for the record made in camp
and drill ground by them. As
time had not allowed for general
call to be issued the full formation
of the organization was not had,
but the purpose was enthusiastic

the following plan of action was a
greed upon: A general committee

ladies from each church, to be Sc

who shall solicit subscriptions for
the purpose indicated, in order to
make the testimonial a general
expression of the people of Wash

SOMETHING NEW.

Outsiders frequently wonder
where the railroads obtain proper
return for some of the ingenious
but costly methods adopted in ad-
vertising their lines. One of the
latest to attract our attention is a
nicely bound 64-page book enti-
tied "What to Do," containing
description and the correct rules,
of a large number of games suita-
BILE for parlor or lawn, which has
been issued by the Passenger De-
partment of the St. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba Railway, and
will we understand, be forwarded
postpaid upon receipt of 8 cents
by G. Ii. Warren, General Pas
senger Agent, at st. Paul. 1t is a
book that would ornament al
most any table and interest both
old and young.

THE RICHEST NEGRO IN THE
COUNTRY.

The colored graduate of West
Point, Lieutenant Flipper, who
was dismissed from the service
for malfeasance in office, seems
to have fallen upon his feet, and
is destined to be a million ire.
Flipper went to Mexico and there
he took service in the Mexican
army. Lately he has been in the
employ of a Chicago syndicate
engaged in the discovery of "the
traditional mines of Mexico"
There were seven in number,
from which the early Span
ish conquerors drew great wealth
IN gold and silver. Lieutenant
FIipper's party is reported to have
discovered two or three mines, the
Guayhopa and the Layonda. One
is a gold and the other a silver
mine with inexhaustible supplies
of metal. Lieutenant Flipper is
enroute to Chicago, will have a
share, and the prospect is that he
will in time be the weafthiest lie.
